Good “Hump Day” to you! Today I have a simply CLASSIC card that would be sooooo over the top appropriate for many cards that we need to send out! I think that I should say “THANK YOU” to my super sweet Aunt Jean for this post.
She asked me if I ever made any cards that were very plain…no flowers….no sayings….just something that she could write a note for many variety of occasions! Well….when someone asks me – OF COURSE I am thrilled to grant her her wish! (especially for her as she is just the sweetest)
I know that everyones in boxes have been flooded with post using this amazing new product but today I decided to showcase it SUPER SIMPLE without using the items that are in this amazing bundle to should you a different look and still be able to inspire you that you can make something WITHOUT a bunch of fuss!
You are able to order this bundle now….there is a starter one below but at the end of the post I will highlight this “premier” one and I would FOR SURE get that one…..(now just hang on with me – I can feel the sticker shock setting in but BE PATIENT)
As I said above, there have been so many posts using this beauty but you really need to understand and just “take in” the genius beauty of the versatility of these framelits ~ these take Die Cutting to the top of a mountian! As you know, Mary Fish is my Upline and friend and I think that her below video “nailed it” showcasing how they all come together!
Please sit back and watch this short video…it will really turn the light on for you!
Now you can see how I created this amazing medallion….(actually effortless) because of “Mr. Big” and the amazing dies. Do you all remember how I say OVER AND OVER about having the classics….well – here you go ~ the layering circle framelits make is a breeze to cut the medallion out – you see…..the classics ARE your friends!
Doesn’t this classic just make you smile? You know that I adore clean and classic lines and I also adore navy and white….but this pop of Emerald Envy just screams a keeper!
A quick Night of Navy enamel dot in the middle of the fun is the perfect finishing touch without adding bulk to the card.
Here you go again…another thing I have said OVER and OVER…when you have a rather simple and classic card, pull out the simply scored and score the sides of the card to create an instant depth – works like a charm each and every time. There is no need to make things complicated as SIMPLE WORKS!
Here is your picture to pin! I would suggest you starting a board called Eastern Palace and go have fun looking at all of the AMAZING samples so many have made. I think that you will see that this truly is a unique set and one that will work for many occasions.
Now to the “Premier Bundle”…I know…I know – you are seeing that $103.50 and going YIKES?!?!?
Trust me, I get it because when I first saw that I thought “how in the heck can it be that much?” well…I did the math (probably like you did) and actually I found out that it was a great deal as you get it at the Bundled Price (which saves you $5.50) and then the THICK Vanilla Card Stock ($7.00) and the Envelopes ($6.50) so in total – you are saving $19.00.
Now THIS IS the way to get this Premier Bundle, CLICK HERE and just get the Ultimate Bundle for $99….just hear me out and below I have done the math for you….(well, John is my in home resident CPA) 😀
For $99 you can get and it all ships for FREE!
- The Eastern Palace Premier Bundle (# 147207, $103.50)
- The other (2) In Color Stamp Pads (Berry Burst #144083 & Powder Pink #144084) $6.50 X 2 = $13.00
- A pack of the NEW In Colors 8 1/2 X 11 Cardstock – (4) sheets of each of the new colors (#144247, $8.00)
Now here is the other way to look at it…..if you were to just put this on an order it would be:
- $124.50 + shipping ($12.45) = $136.95 – I do not know about you but I would take that $37.95 savings!
There is no BIG BAD WOLF…Stampin’ Up! makes it way too easy for us to be able to get a 20% or 25% discount each and everyday that we want it. I love hobbyist and I want you to be able to get a discount. I truly do not care if you are my very best customer or if you were a SUD before….I just love what I do and I love to be able to share with you the facts….it is easy, no obligations and it is fun!

Good morning and there is a reason that this post is late in getting to you….are you curious?
Well…here is the scoop ~ Tuesday mornings are the magical day of the week that Stampin’ Up! gives us updates and general “scoop” that helps us with our Stampin’ fun!
I hope that you enjoyed this sweet bird clip and one bird is me…and the other is you.
Here is what is going on …we are having fun…we are chatting away….you are saying could I….should I….and I am saying….JUST DO IT!
Today is an extra special day because today is the day that we will be able to see what “selective” products that we will be able to order as a “pre-order” for the launching of the NEW annual catalog that goes live on June 1st! To me, this is a HUGE perk and sheer FUN to be able to order and also “play” with the new goodies.
I know that you know that the Ultimate bundle allows you to pick $125 worth of product and it costs you $99 and it ships for FREE (so that in itself saves you $12.50) and if I were you….these are (3) items that I would add to get that Ultimate Bundle! (Because we cannot share images within the catalog yet…you will see that I have provided you a Pinterest links and also a video that will show you many samples that many have made)
By now you know me, I like practical products and these 3 are very practical and will be marathon additions to your collection…another way to say it, KEEPERS! 😀
As the saying goes…it is as easy as 1,2,3 and I have the 3 products to make it easy!
- Colorful Seasons Bundle # 145348 – $54.00 – CLICK HERE TO SEE SAMPLES of fabulous ideas using this bundle and I am sure you can see images of the stamp set and bundle! I LOVE bundles….as framelits are our friends!
- At Home With You Bundle #145351 – $50.25 – Below is a video….you are going to LOVE this as it is bundle that you can use all year and for soooo many different occasions! YIPPEE…we love our framelits and I think that you can see in this video…these are super special!
- Crafting Forever Stamp Set #143958 – $20.00 – CLICK HERE TO SEE SAMPLES and I am just giddy of this stamp set. Not only is it super versatile but it is a perfect gift to give to your crafty friend! I was just thrilled that I received it at On Stage!
There you go…..you can CLICK HERE and get the Ultimate Bundle with these (3) above items that would have cost you $124.25 ( plus the 10% shipping $12.43) = $136.68 and you only have to pay $99 (SHIPS FOR FREE)! Can you see how that is a WIN-WIN plus your box of fun will have the new catalog in it?
I will say that I adore the fact that Stampin’ Up! allows “SUPER SMART STAMPERS” ~ let’s call you “SSS’ers” to be able to place “pre-order” goodies in the “Ultimate Bundle”…the one that YOU pick with no obligations ~ is just a no brainer….it is like going to Bed Bath & Beyond with that familiar Blue 20% off coupon that we all use!
I think…no I know that when you see that Direct Selling Agreement that you RUN as fast as you can….or you are like a dog with its tail between his legs…but the reality of it is, Stampin’ Up! has to go through this and it is truly nothing to be worried about.
Over 95% of SUD are hobbiest and trust me, that is JUST FINE as who does not like a deal….I know I do! It is funny…when there is a great SU sale …you all HOP on it.…and I think, why don’t you just be a “SSS’er” 😀 and get a 20% discount each and everyday? ( and pssst…..you could also get a 25% discount as well)
I adore and I welcome hobbiest as it is so simple, WHY NOT? I think that many think that they will either HAVE to do something…teach a class….have required sales quotas etc…and here is the truth – No. It is as simple as that. I love this quote and I hope that you let it sink in.
I can say, that the 3 days that I had with Michelle would not have been possible without me hitting that BUTTON to do something for me. True, I was only in for that one order and then bye-bye birdie…but I am sure glad that I stuck around. The relationships that I have gained are priceless and something I cherish. You can also click here and read my story and my Stampin love….
It is simple, I love what I do and I love to share the facts and truths with YOU! Now go have a GREAT day!

Good Morning! Well…I was like a pig in a big puddle of mud but I admit, I did not think that I would be so consumed with having so much sheer FUN with my friend Michelle! I truly thought that after each day of having fun at class we would come back to the hotel and just sit, relax, do our blogs…….NOT IN THE CARDS! (ha-ha….CARDS…get it) 😀
Before we get what I have been up to……we need to have a WINNER (well….actually no one got it 100% correct) but I have to say that I was as shocked as I think you are going to be with the answers! MANY people got #1 & #3 correct but it was the middle one that STUMPED YOU…..here you go! The answers are…..
- What is the name of Stamp Set that has been in the Catalog the longest? LOVELY AS A TREE
- What is the most popular bundle from the Occasions Catalog? NAILED IT BUNDLE
- How many pages was the first Stampin’ Up Catalog? 64 Pages
As I was driving on Thursday I was thinking that I was going to be short on time that night to post so I called Demonstrator Support and had fun with asking different trivia questions. The gal was so sweet to email me a list of fun facts and these were just 3 that I picked so I might to this in the future.
Are YOU AS SHOCKED AS I AM about #2 question? I admit, I think that it is a super unique set and I do have it but I was surprised….I for sure was thinking many of your guesses would have been the correct one.
We all owe our dear “CHRIS R from Iowa” for helping me with this as I texted her and asked if she would be so kind to scroll through the comments and give me the scoop. What I decided to do (with Chris’s help) was to take the ones that had the #1 & #3 answer correct and then pick the random winner…and that was……
So the moral of the story is…Andrea H, YOU WON so please email me with your address and when I am able to order you the “new goods” I will do so!
I really thought that Dragonfly Dreams or Tasty Treats was going to be the winner….and it goes to show you how wrong I was! Thanks for playing along with the fun and I will do trivia again as I just love games…..NOW TO WHAT I HAVE BEEN DOING……
We were in Columbus Ohio at a Simon Says Create event and there are no words to say other that WOW. We went from one thing to another and having a ball and I will say that I have learned a bunch but more importantly I had FUN and meeting lots of great people.
I thought that we were making a long trek to go…..from Maryland and Florida but WOW – there were people from the UK….Texas, California, Washington State, Tennessee, Montana, Maine….it was just unreal that there was so many from all over and in total there were only 120 people…and WOW – it was great and were we spoiled!
After I picked her up from the airport…..FIRST STOP.…The Container Store…we both we in heaven, sheer heaven…..that is like a TOY STORE to me as I love to look for goodies that make my life easier!
Next door there was a great home decor store (sorry, I can’t remember the name) but it was beautiful and fun. Naturally the horse decor made me pitter pat….but I hope that you get a kick out of the hand towel! 🙂
This event was sold out as fast as you can say SOLD OUT….and we were thrilled that we secured a spot! Not only did we have a blast being together but we had a blast creating, learning and doing what we all love…..crafting!
I adore Jennifer McQuire and I just could not wait to take a class from her and Kristina and wow ~ it was fabulous. As they were going over the way the class was going to go….they said – “This would have gone much faster if we all had a MISTI” but we are going to do the best job we can….and then…..they both said as they were smiling and laughing…..YOU ALL ARE GETTING A MISTI!!!!
Naturally that was FUN and oh so generous but then we received 2 more amazing stamp sets…..I could go on and on but these past days were a “pinch me” time for me and even though I felt terrible that I have not had time to pop on the computer.
You can see from the above line up of teachers…it was amazing. I cannot begin to tell you how incredibly engaging Tim Holtz was. He is one talented crafter but equally a talented instructor. I was truly blown away from his presentation.
Even though many of his work is not my style….I walked away having FUN and feeling so rewarding and proud of the creations I created ~ a great example of it is good to go away from your comfort zone. He is just a dynamic person and sooooo talented. He ability to be able to control and have 60 people do 4 projects was just amazing as there was so much detail and technique that he puts into his work.
Walking away from the time together, I truly learned to appreciate the fun it is to really try something that is out of the box for you. Tim’s wealth of knowledge of the crafting world and his obvious passion he has in exploring so many different mediums was a true eye opener to me, just one fabulous instructor.
This was the HUGE TOTE that I brought (as I drove) and Michelle and I had these GRAND DREAMS of playing with many of the new Stampin’ Up! goodies that we already have our hands on….and also to practice techniques and FUN that we learned….this was re-zipped up and brought right back to Randall Lane!.
Our days were jammed backed from early and then after we had dinner….we came back to the hotel and crashed! It was sheer FUN and by the ends of our 3 days together we felt that we had sooooooo much jammed into the 3 days we looked at each other and said – I AM EXHAUSTED (but in a GOOD way)
One night…..one of my team members drove over (a long way!) and we had dinner together and it was soooooo fun to grab a hug and share some time with Pam….(as we have never met in person) ~ another great example of this whole thing that we do…..IS SIMPLY THE BEST! The buzz that was surrounding me while away was so apparent that many people have met and developed relationships from simply connecting from blogs, the internet etc…..
Simon Says also had a POP UP SHOP (oh so smart of them as they had a captive audience of 120 crazed crafters) so that was another highlight if fun. If they did not have it at their shop…you could order it and the warehouse was very close and every couple of hours they would fulfill orders that were not at the Pop Up Shop.
By the end of our time there – they knew that my number was 004 and Michelle’s was 003 and it was fun to just add to the bag and check out at the end! Here was another brilliant move that they did….during the classes if you saw a product that they were demonstrating that you wanted, PRESTO….raise your paddle with your number and POOF…..someone walked wrote it down and into your bag it went!
Michelle and I were in our stamping glory and by the end of our time….our joy and smile tanks were filled to the brim! Back to reality….until tomorrow!

Yesterday I shared that I was “away” for some “continuing education” (ha-ha) with a fellow PAL and I am hoping to be able to hop on the computer later today to share with you what we are up to…trust me, it is going to be fun!
I thought – what could we do that would be FUN and I think I have a keeper for you! What will you win???? Well…how about this – you all know that the NEW CATALOG is right around the corner and you all know that we have 5 NEW IN COLORS….so how about a pack of the new in colors Cardstock and also a pack of the NEW MINI Stampin’ Dimensionals. (as soon as I can order them I will)
I have a feeling that there are going to be multiple people that guess the answers so if that is the case, I will use random.org for the winner! I just love trivia so let’s see how you do!
Leave your comment and good luck!
- What is the name of Stamp Set that has been in the Catalog the longest?
- What is the most popular bundle from the Occasions Catalog?
- How many pages was the first Stampin’ Up Catalog?
This will be funny to see the answers. I called Stampin’ Up! to ask the questions and answers. Good luck and until later!
